To cast a spell of protection against thieves, first hang a painting or a photograph of eyes (the bigger the better) in a prominent place in your place of business. Then, mount two quartz crystals behind the eyeballs, and charge them with energy during the waxing Moon. Post this sign near the merchandise that tends to walk out unpaid for most often, and say: "Who steals a thing from here, no matter how small, walks out with a weight that's huge. The price is high to you though you think it's free; for you leave behind your honor and pride and honesty." Finally, when you see someone suspicious enter the shop, imagine that you are Mercury, god of thieves, and look at them until they see you looking. |
